I got a phone phish today. It went something like:
[Ring Ring]
Me: Hello?
Phisher: (In heavy Nigerian accent) Hello, I'm trying to reach Mrs.

What does a Nigerian accent sound like?

Me: She's not here
Phisher: This is Chris White calling on behalf of her bank
Me: (somewhat sarcastic) Oh, really?
Phisher: What time would be best for me to call her back?
Me: Tell you what, I'll take a message and have her call you. What was your name again?
Phisher: This is Chris Black, and I am calling on behalf of her bank.
Me: Which bank would that be?
Phisher: I am calling on behalf of MBNA.
Me: That's not her bank.
Phisher: We appreciate her business, and will call back later.
Me: This sounds like a phishing scam.
Phisher: No sir. I am calling on behalf of her bank... Thank you for your time. Goodbye.

-Joe
